San Mateo Therapists specializing in Depression

Solasta McIntyre

Are you often hypervigilant and tense? Insecure in relationships? Disconnected from your body and emotions? Feel worthless or like you can't trust yourself? Are aware of self-defeating behaviors, but can't seem to change? Are you a young professional experiencing anxiety, relationship distress, or dissociation? You may have had a recent breakup, job change, newborn or Saturn Return. You may have had a "late-in-life" diagnosis or realization around your identity, childhood or brain style.

You may be wondering whether therapy is for you. Can you bring your full self into session? Will all of your parts be respected and welcome? My practice welcomes you, and I look forward to co-creating a space that fits your unique being. I believe therapy should be accessible to all minds and bodies and affirm neurodiversity, sexual and gender diversity in my work. I welcome your access needs and will work with you to create a space that fits your being.

MaryBeth Lorence

I invite individual adults and couples to explore your struggles and the unhealthy patterns that keep you mired in feelings of sadness, anxiety, or simply with a sense that your life is not quite how you wish it to be. Maybe you've tried to work out the problems yourself and keep circling back to square one. Maybe you've hit a brick wall. Maybe you don't even know where to begin. Together, we'll uncover the power of change that lives inside you.

Darlene Sousa

Do you feel different? Disconnected? Do you wonder why some things seem easy for you while other facets of your life seem unnecessarily hard? Have you been reading about ADHD or autism and are wondering if you have a neurodivergent mind? Perhaps you've been to a number of therapists and doctors, but those approaches never seemed to have a lasting effect or you may have even been mislabeled. Whether for school or workplace accommodations, or just to learn more about yourself and next steps.

Amanda Rebel

Maybe you’re tired of feeling isolated, stuck, or in despair. Your mind may be working overtime, leaving you unbalanced, stressed, confused. You may feel burnt out from trying to manage your moods, thoughts or worries--on your own. Despite being sensitive, caring, and hardworking, you still don't feel like you are making lasting life changes. You may grapple with low energy, hard life adjustments, or feelings of guilt, shame or sadness. You are desperate for change, yet are also scared of it.

Heather Fuller

Everyone sees you as confident and put-together, but inside you feel anxious and overwhelmed. You’re always pushing yourself to your limits and holding yourself to an unrealistically high standard. You overthink things, constantly questioning how you are perceived, spiraling into self-doubt and anxiety. It doesn’t have to be this way. Together, we can regain your sense of peace, find clarity into your struggles, heal from past hurts, and move towards a life of deeper connection and confidence.

Dr. David Shoup

My clients are successful professionals who, despite their external success, often feel hampered by their private thoughts. They are frequently people on edge and who spend too much time analyzing the day's or past conversations, rehashing them repeatedly. Often these thoughts get in the way of their relationship, hobbies, and enjoying life to its fullest. I use cognitive and mindfulness technics to help people finding a new way forward.

Ashley Grant

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.

Tim Holtzman

Have you previously undergone therapy, but didn’t get the results you wanted? Are you a pragmatic person who values an approach that establishes well-defined objectives and delivers tangible outcomes? Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a potent form of therapy that empowers you the client to directly transform emotions and behaviors. The greatest advantage of IFS therapy is its establishment of clear, measurable goals right from the start. Which allows you to observe the progress you make.

I can help you figure out where to start and how to use therapy as a tool to improve your quality of life. Let's talk about a way to feel better.
